I learned my lesson. I learned to avoid doing business with anyone who is (1) lazy, (2) and cannot plan ahead.
He had more than enough money to buy FIRST the boxes, and SECOND the switches. Business only works with a certain trust between the seller and the customer. When we first purchased our juiceboxes, we were told that the wait is 4-5 weeks (more or less), and we were still willing to pay for it because (1) we trusted that the product would come with the advantages as advertised through video clips, and (2) that wait time would be necessary for him to get a hold of the parts needed.
People who have placed orders three months ago were first told that the boxes weren't in, and now they are being told that the switches aren't here yet. What's next...Carlos lost a screwdriver to put the boxes together and will need another couple weeks to get it? He's given us two lame excuses so far for the delay. Who knows what he'll come up with next?
There seems to be a group of people in his defense claming "oh i know him, and trust that he is doing all this to improve my
device. if i have to wait another 50 years for him to place a better switch so i can get a marginally better product, it'll be worth the wait",
but Carlos' excuses are VERY unprofessional and his lack of updates/communication is inexcusable. The only reason I can think of that would delay the shipping time by 2 months on a product is laziness and lack of planning. Carlos pushes the envelope with no communication.
He could have EASILY hired a high school student to put together a list of updates to keep his customers in the loop, but ofcourse he's too cheap to do that (or he's too lazy to find a reliable person to do this).
Okay, I'm going to get shot down for saying all this, but he had it coming. To be honest(as my log in name suggests) I'd be surprised if I'm the only one in this Juicebox "Fan" thread to hold these opinions.
